jp's execute faster, in the link code speed was more important
than rom usage.

I really wonder about the quality of some of their ROM coders...
Half the people on the list could do a much better job. They use
jp in some of the link port code to move PC up/down less than
10 instructions!

Was the 8X ROM written in C as well? I believe the 92 ROM was.
Then again, if they have a whole ROM chip to play with they
can waste as damn much as they want.
